LONG HAUL AND SHORT HAUL.
Representative Payson Criticizes the
Commerce COmnisSlOns

Representative Payson, who is strongly inter-
ested in railroad matters In the House. said
to STAR reporter to-day that he was
disappointed and disguised at the way
In which things had been going as to the
Interstate Commerce law. He declared that
the Commission had no warrant for the sus-
pension OF the long and short haul clause,
and exceeded their authority in suspending it.
The arguments upon which they acted
in doing So he said, were the same that were made
againgI the bill in Congress and were then over
ruled. IL there was anything Congress insisted
upon 1t Was that clause. He thought
tnat at the next Congress the friends
OF the bill would propose to repeal the
clause which gave the Commission any discretion
at all in the matter, and he thought Congress
would insist that the long and short haul clause
be given trial.
